thanks!

What about pics of women drivers with their Z's.

 

FYI, what I plan on doing is let the ideas continue to build on this thread and then review the suggestions with David Bexfield & Art Singer (Cheif Editor of SZM & Assoc. Publisher of SZM). Based on their feedback and maybe some suggestions from me, we will try to include some of your suggestions.

Now if it was up to me alone, we might be working on a 350Z Calendar with attractive women complimenting pictures of our Z's. Think of it as our version of Sports Illustrated 350Z style.....

How about really attractive women with THEIR Zs? I find that intriguing. WHich reminds me of a real attractive Woman who completely destroyed me out here a few months back. Me in my SB Touring her in Blue with some monstruous sound coming from under the hood. I'm thinking supercharged. But i was killed. I wasn't really racing, just accelerating to the speed limit as fast as possible. I stood no chance. I was pissed and excited at the same time. She was hot. So was her car. So, I second calendar of attractive women and THEIR OWN Z. Sorry about the tangent.

 

How about a "Low-buck" buildup type article? It seems alot of people have asked about the best mods for the money. This wouldn't be a parts/dyno comparison but rather readers could submit pics/info about their cars along with what they have spent to give readers an idea what can be done on a budget.

 

I strongly agree with dank311, a serious suspension comparison would be excellent, same car, same track, and maybe do the most popular ones, the S-tune, Tein FLEX, and Koni's, possibly evn the Zeal Function V6's. You might also have a "grandmother" figure (a la the "Ultimate Street Car Challenge") to review ride comfort/road suitability.

 

That grandma thing was a little weird on those videos.

 

Product reviews/testing/comparisons would be fantastic....suspension....intakes.....exhaust!!

Then there have been some really innovative folks developing new products....like improving underbody airflow with aftermarket exhausts....and the cam angle sensor shield...maybe give those folks a showcase....

 

I second the idea for installation tutorials. Simple things like: CAI, Forced Induction, spoilers, etc...
But if you wanted to get more complex with say....turbos or superchargers that'd be fine too. :-)

 

On the track lap time between '03 and '05 with 300Hp, and detail explanation about the strength of each would be interesting. Also acceleration number tested together on the dry pavement

 

pm sent.

 

It sure would be nice to see some definitive article that settles once and for all the debate over what the ECU does or un-does to modifications. Would be great if you can get some input from actual Nissan engineers.

I second the idea of articles on suspension, AutoX, product reviews and comparisons of bolt-ons.

 

Hey Jeff, send a reporter/photographer with us on the Yosemite run May 7th.

 

Option #1: I dont know if i can make the run to cover it but if I can, i would love to do it.

Option #2 is maybe you can contact Yuchi, he lives near there and writes for the mag. if you like.

Option #3 is take some pics and write up something if you like and we will try to get a little coverage. The magazine is growing in size thus more info/articles but on the otherhand, I got an article we have been trying to fit in for about a year now and cant seem to get it in because other articles bump it.

 

I let Dave (Cheif editor) at the Mag., know about this thread and he is excited to get everyones input and is totally open to the idea of using some of your suggestions.
